A key development in this year’s budget is KW&SC’s transition from a traditional manual accounting framework to a fully integrated SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. The move represents the first time in the Corporation’s history that budget implementation, financial oversight and procurement operations will function through a centralised digital platform.
Officials said the SAP-enabled system will provide real-time monitoring of expenditure, budget utilisation and procurement activities while strengthening internal controls and improving operational efficiency.
The Corporation expects the digital transition to enhance transparency and accountability and reduce the risk of financial irregularities through automated reporting and monitoring processes.
The financial plan also prioritises prudent debt management, rationalisation of internal expenditures and measures designed to reduce revenue leakages in an effort to improve long-term financial sustainability.
